News Brief: “Gay Cure” Clinics in Ecuador are Raping and Beating LGBT People

LGBT people in Ecuador are being forced into “gay cure” rehab clinics and subjected to rape and beatings. Campaigners in the country have called on the government to investigate over 100 clinics in which they believe human rights violations are being carried out against LGBT people. An estimated 200 clinics are operating in the country.

Four people have come forward so far with their tales of the horrifying abuse they had been subjected to between 2014 and 2016 under the guise of “rehab.” The victims say that they were beaten, placed in solitary confinement, chained to their beds for days at a time, force-fed concoctions of medicines, and raped as a “corrective” measure by fellow patients and staff. Some were also forced to wear makeup and high heels.
